On Thursday, the CIA excluded Fox News from a briefing for a small
group of reporters in which they provided a timeline from the night of
the attack in which they explain that at 5:15 a.m. (7 hrs and 28 minutes
after the attack on the consulate began) five mortars are fired at the
annex, three of them striking the roof and killing Woods and Doherty.

The CIA told the Washington Post’s David Ignatius that “the rooftop
defenders never ‘laser the mortars’ as has been reported,” a reference
to an earlier Fox News report. The CIA added the “defenders have focused
their laser sights earlier on several Libyan attackers, as warnings not
to fire.”
